How Best to Ensure Accurate Employee Work Location Information

We utilize Manager Self-Service in PeopleSoft (9.2 with partial position mgmt.).  For years we have been struggling with getting managers to maintain their employee's work location information.  This includes the location (building), mail drop (floor) and a custom attribute for cubicle.  Have any of you had the similar issue?  If so, how have you resolved it?  Do you require regular action on behalf of your managers (annually or semi annually)?  Or do you keep this information updated via a feed from another source, such as a facilities management system?  Any thoughts/suggestions are appreciated.

Regards.

Thank you !

Hi Sargon,

At a high level- to capture location in person profile, We need to;

1- configure new content type (e.g location)

2- assign it to existing primary person profile type

3- configure custom prompt that points to location table. (This is for employees to select from a defined list) associate this prompt to content type ‘location’

4- approval workflow (optional)

5- alert notification to supervisor/hr (optional)

Please let me know if you have any further questions.

Thank you,

How to use Person Profile to capture work location?

Thank you

Thank you for replying Chamanthi.  We have thought of allowing employees to update their own information as an option.  I will look at the person profile functionality to see if it can be done that way.  We also use partial position management, so the changes have to be updates on PS_POSITION_DATA.

Have you seen other companies allow employees to update their location info?

Thanks again.
